    I mean, at this stage you can tell that by the name.

    These deplorables love children so much that they don’t even bat an eye at using child sexual abuse as a political tool while simultaneously turning a blind eye to 300,000 children raped by clergy.

      Or children starving because they have to pay for shitty food at school, or children starving and having a bad life because their parents can’t afford to pay for more even if they already work, or children at orphanages…

      Yeah, much like with forbidding abortion (but then never caring whether the no longer-aborted child will have a proper home to live), children are just a political tool.

    Of course it will. Then once they have all the trans people rounded up they’ll target the gays, then the blacks, the mexicans, and so on and so forth until everyone’s in camps that isn’t white.

    Republican supporters won’t wake up to this until they start coming after the stupid and obese.

      You’re not safe even if you’re white. If nothing else they’ll target people who like the color blue just to keep some “enemy” in their sights.

      White people are just further down the list of easy targets. At that point they’ll start by hair color and nitpick their way down from there.

        Fascism requires an “other” to function. Once one “other” is a destroyed there will always be another one to take it’s place.

          As long as they don’t have any lefty thoughts. Don’t forget that the Nazis also put unionists, socialists and communists in camps.

              You mean the fact that the biggest initial source of support the Nazis got was from the emerging business class who were scared of the rising influence of labor unions? Can’t imagine why that gets pushed under the bed.

              Not like we had that nearly happen here in the US or anything though. Just don’t look into the Business Plot or that many of the Jan 6thers turned out to be small business tyrants…

              Just remember that the most dangerous Nazis aren’t the skinheads on the corner but the ones on Wall Street.

        Working backwards, we could reasonably expect Italian, Irish, and Polish people. Discrimination really isn’t about the color of your skin if history is anything to go off of.

      they’ll never target the stupid, those are the people who will support them no matter what. They’re already trying to demonize intelligence and education.

      the bar for what counts as stupid enough will continue to lower, though.

    It should be the parents’ job to regulate what kind of content their children consume on the internet, not the government’s.

        That’s good because children are much smarter than government and their parents when it comes to internet.

          That may have been true 20 years ago, but it’s not necessarily true now. Young millennials had unbridled access to the internet. Most of us grew up using desktop PC and knew their intricacies for the most part. Hell, we had to use CSS and HTML for MySpace.

          The current generation has always had relatively limited access to the internet, and most have used it off of phones or tablets their whole lives.

          It’s a spectrum in most cases anyway. The average person in any generation is computer illiterate.

            Making it harder for users to install any program of their choice only adds fuel to the fire. Banning something on the internet adds oxidizer. Thanks to my stupid govenment of militant pensioners, I learned English to an extent enough for writing this comment and how to use tor.

            The average person in any generation is computer illiterate.

            Probably because standards of literacy change. Same happend with electricity.

    This isn’t about protecting kids it’s about banning LGBT persons from the internet.

      Yeah the 1st amendment has gone out the window here. (on the other hand, why are they pushing the lgtbtq movement on kids. Kids aren’t smart at all and won’t understand the deeper meaning…)

    This is a classic GOP move. Name a bill something like “Free Americans for Internet Freedom Act” that prevents net neutrality and idiots love the name and support it. Name a bill something like “Kids Online Safety Act” as a way to censor and control information, and idiots love the name and support it

    Which only makes sense, trans are the most sus even within the LGBT. Its a broad category of mostly nonsense identities or simply just people unable to cope with how they are born and lamenting over it and passing on that stupidity to children. There are trans who act and blend like any other human being but most are just plain psychological disaster. The unnatural spike in identity disorder proves it.

    Edit: Heh, not a single reply. Just downvote for the sake of it cuz I said nothing wrong scientifically and statistically.

      Listen to the facist sing

      "Take hope here

      War is elsewhere

      You were chosen

      This is Gods land

      Soon we’ll be free

      Of blot and mixture

      Seeds planted by our Forefathers hand"

      A mass of promises

      Begin to rupture

      Like the pockets Of the new world kings

      Like swollen stomachs In Appalachia

      Like the priest that fucked you as he whispered holy things

      A mass of tears have transform the stones now

      Sharpened on suffering

      And woven into the slings

      Hope lies in the rubble of this rich fortress

      Taking today what tomorrow never brings

          True, other countries have never experienced fascism. Pretty sure the Finns never even allied with actual Hitler
